Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland is planning to resurface 100 metres of the A876 at the North Approach Junction in Kincardine on the nights of Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 February.
To ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public, the A876 will be closed in both directions between the A876/A985 junction and Walker Street from 20:00 until 06:00 each night.
Due to the proximity of the resurfacing at the junction it will also be necessary to close the A985 eastbound between Higgins Neuk Roundabout and Longannet Roundabout.
A diversion route will be signposted between Higgins Neuk Roundabout and Longannet Roundabout via the A865 and A977. This diversion will add approximately 3 minutes and 3.5 miles to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will improve safety and ride quality for motorists on this section of the A876, as well as improving the road for local residents.
“Road closures are essential for safety, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption. We will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience and encourage them to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
